I have had a couple of private responses on this as well a  couple to
the list

 

Firstly I should have typed ASMM (Automatic Shared memory Mananagment)
rather than ASSM. I knew what I meant but I bet I  am not the first one
to make that mistake

 

Secondly the CPU count is either 2,4, or 8 depending on which server I
try it on. Not really sure what line is being taken on that one

 

Finally I have been informed that the log_buffer shares a memory granule
with the fixed SGA. That had crossed my mind but I had not been able to
track any supporting evidence down.

 

Thanks for the responses and the input

 

John

Subject: log_buffer value does not match spfile value

 

 

I have a number of 10G databases where the value of log_buffer in the
spfile is not the same as the value within the instance.

 

Oracle is obviously deciding it's own value. This is the same on systems
using ASSM and not (sga_target)

 

The documentation does not seem to support this but I am sure from a
number of instances that this is happening. 

 

Any ideas on this. Nothing much coming from Metalink. I believe that
this is also happening on a databases using an init.ora file rather than
an spfile

 

Thanks

 

John
